This article borrows from Lloyd's research, which was obtained from the commercial ball milling industry, and explains some of the key design criteria for making your own ball mill.
get priceThe ball mill is powered by a fairly robust 12V DC motor salvaged from a junked printer. It had a pulley for a fine-toothed belt on it. It was left in place and it seems to drive the heavy round rubber belt well without slipping. The motor was mounted using screws on only one side, which were deliberately left loose. This allows the motor to ...
